It happened. DougFord is Premier of Ontario and like me, you’re probably not feeling so great today.

We have work to do. Premier Ford means our 2018 city council and school board elections are more important than ever. That's why I'm asking you to join me in committing to vote for progress in Toronto’s elections this fall: progresstoronto.ca/yes

Make no mistake: Doug Ford will have his eyes on electing conservative candidates to city hall and the school board in Toronto.

But the silver lining of last night's election results is that Progressives won in Toronto.

Over 738,000 of the votes cast in Toronto were votes against Doug Ford. That means 2 in 3 Torontonians voted for someone other than Doug. More than 400,000 people voted for the NDP, more than 287,000 for the Liberals, and 33,000 for the Greens. Ford received little more than 359,000 votes.

If we band together we can elect more progressive champions for our city than ever before to protect us from what Doug Ford has planned for Toronto.
